Feast Your Eyes: The real winning S'more pie

Yesterday, I posted a picture that I thought was the winning "Mash-Up Pie" in Portland's first Pie-Off. However, once that post had been up a couple of hours, I was informed that the pictured pie wasn't actually the winning confection. So, in order to shine the light of praise on the actual winner, I bring you 10-year-old Zoe's gorgeous winning S'more pie. Congratulations Zoe, you done good!

Thanks to Amber Case, for allowing us to feature her tasty picture!

Feast Your Eyes: S'more pie

When I mentioned the Portland Pie-Off last week* I was hoping that a few of the winning pies would find their way into the Slashfood Flickr pool. Happily, Lelo has come through with a delicious picture of the pie that won the "Mash-Up" category. This S'more Pie looks like it had the ability to satisfy even the most die-hard sweet tooth. Best of all? This pie is the creation of 10-year-old Zoe Richter, which goes to show that pie creativity knows no age restrictions.

Thanks Lelo and all the participants in the first ever Portland Pie-Off. To see all the winners, check out this page on the Pie-Off blog.

Updated to add: Apparently, the pie pictured above isn't Zoe's winning creation, but another S'more themed pie. Zoe, we apologize for the mix up. If you have a picture of YOUR pie, we'd be happy to post it for you.

*If you're cooking up a fun, local food-related contest, we'd love to know about it!

The first Portland Pie-Off

At least once a summer, my mom makes a pie for no particular reason. When my sister was living at home, she'd do her best to plan the pie seed and continue to talk about blueberry pie or blackberry galette until my mom could resist temptation no longer. She'll pull out the rolling pin she bought used when my parents first got married (it has a wonderfully butter, seasoned surface) and make a sincerely transcendent dessert.

If you live in the Portland (Oregon, not Maine) area, you have good reason to pull out your rolling pin this weekend. The first-ever Portland Pie-Off is taking place at the Washington Park picnic site (near the playground) this Saturday (August 30th) at 3 pm. There are eight categories to enter and 12 categories from which prizes will be awarded (there is a $5 entrance fee). So pull out your pie plates and get out the flour, cause it's pie baking time!

Even if you don't live in the Portland area, let this contest serve as inspiration to you to bake up a pie before the summer is over. Take a picture and add it to the Slashfood Flickr pool. Be it blueberry, blackberry, cherry or apple, there's nothing quite like a good slice of pie.
